Chocolate Stout Pudding

This adult-only pudding is dense, rich, and creamy. And, unlike a lot of desserts with beer, you can actually taste
the Guinness stout in this pudding. It's subtle, but that distinctive
smoky, chocolate-y flavor is detectable, and it's fabulous.

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine
cornstarch, salt, and sugars. Add milk and heavy cream. Using a rubber
spatula, stir until the cornstarch and sugars are dissolved. Add the
beer. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Lower the heat. Continue
stirring frequently until pudding begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Remove pudding from heat for 2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips and
vanilla extract and return to the stove top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or
until thick, stirring several times. Remove from heat.

2.
Pour pudding into 3 or 4 small dishes or 1 large one. Cover with Saran Wrap
and refrigerate until chilled. If you'd like, top it with a dollop of
freshly whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.
